Miami Marlins vs Athletics Starting Lineup — Friday, Jul 3, 2026

Miami has no MLB history against Jack Perkins. Liam Hicks, Kyle Stowers, Otto Lopez, Xavier Edwards, Heriberto Hernández, Griffin Conine, Owen Caissie, Jakob Marsee, and Leo Jiménez have not faced him in the majors. That leaves the Marlins lineup with a completely unfamiliar look against the right-hander.

Oakland has at least a little prior exposure to Tyler Phillips, though it is limited. Shea Langeliers is 1-for-4 with a .250 average and .750 OPS, while Nick Kurtz is hitless in his 0-for-1 summary over 1 AB and 1 PA with a .000 OPS. Lawrence Butler is also hitless, going 0-for-3 in 3 AB and 3 PA with a .000 OPS, and Jeff McNeil has 1 plate appearance against Phillips with one walk. Colby Thomas, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Carlos Cortes, Henry Bolte, and Alika Williams have no MLB history versus Phillips.

The Athletics have more hitters with at least some familiarity against the opposing starter. Miami enters with an entirely clean slate against Perkins, while Oakland has four batters who have already seen Phillips.
